This Saturday morning I caught up on the livestream with Paul Charlton and Dave Foy. It is a good discussion of Bricks and will be of interest to people thinking of giving Bricks a try and for people just getting into Bricks. They talk about how they came to choose Bricks, what its strengths are, and different ways to get started.

WordPress is adding a Form Block! It is showing up first in Gutenberg 16.9.

This is interesting for front-end developers – the article is about creating web components with vanilla HTML, JS, and CSS. Hat tip to Vitalii Kiiko in the Builderius Facebook group.

Cwicly has added a new system from creating and managing your color palettes.

A bit of a toot of their own horn, but one has the feeling that the WordPress leadership doesn’t give much credence to the “extender” community. This post from HumanMade outlines some of the ways agencies help the WordPress project.

This might be of interest to Elementor users: A performance webinar with Google, 10up, and Elementor. I guess when you have Elementor’s market share you can get help from Google.
